# Curation Mining On Creata, finding the next big thing is a profitable skill. We introduce the concept of Curation Mining to reward users who act as talent scouts. **The Scout Model**\ If a user discovers a piece of high-quality content when it has a low view count and chooses to engage with or share it, they establish a "proof of discovery" on-chain. If that content subsequently goes viral, the early curator receives a yield in $CREA. This aligns the incentives of the user with the platform; users are financially motivated to find and amplify the best content, not just the loudest. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://gitbook.creatoken.xyz/algorithmic-sovereignty/curation-mining.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
